Shadows of Steel: A Shadow/Superman Adventure
(http://home.earthlink.net/~niallmor/personal/steel.html)
This is an all-new adventure in the classic style featuring two of the
greatest heroes from The Golden Age of comics, pulp fiction, and
old-time radio: Superman and The Shadow:
It is 1938. Lamont Cranston, The Shadow, has been kidnapped. Margo Lane
appeals to her sister Lois Lane for help in finding Lamont, unaware
that the old flame who has re-entered her life is at the center of the
kidnap plot! Only the Man of Steel can save the Master of Darkness, and
only the two heroes together can save a nation on the brink of war!
Don't miss all the action in "Shadows of Steel!"
I had the basic idea for this story years ago when I realized the
simple, blindingly obvious fact that Superman's girlfriend, Lois Lane,
and The Shadow's girlfriend, Margo Lane, had the same last name. What
if Lois and Margo Lane were related? Would that bring the two men, the
two superheroes in their lives together? Of course it would! This story
was the result. I've been working on it over a year now, and it's
finally here! Do go read it and tell me what you think. Tell your
friends, your relations, and complete strangers if necessary, about
this story if you think they would like it. Since it involves two
copyrighted and licensed characters, I can't possibly publish it via
conventional means without being sued down to my last nickel for
copyright infringement. So, like millions of other fan fiction or
"fanfic" writers, I'm putting it up on the Web absolutely free for you
good people to read and, I hope, to enjoy. Please send me feedback at:
"niallmor at earthlink dot net," only replace the dot and the at as
appropriate. (You know the drill). Cheerio!
